Processing is hard. I get into a funk for a week. Not fun. Doing the first four of my eight meat birds tomorrow too.

Oh no that sounds much worse than what I have to deal with. It doesn’t affect me all that much anymore; I get odd moments of being grossed-out by it, but less and less as time goes on. 

But, I think, it’s a lot different to do a production-size batch with a crew of six or seven other people, vs. clearly what’s a small run for personal use. Mostly for me chicken/turkey processing is hard work but fun, because it’s a communal activity. There are 150 or more of them, and I’ve never really interacted with them individually. And, most importantly I think, I don’t have to kill them. I hardly even see them with their feathers on.

I don’t know if I’d have the strength to handle a small run, beginning to end, of birds I’d had a chance to know as individuals. Kudos to you, it sounds like a hard lifestyle.

Reblog if it’s okay for your followers to leave you an ask telling you what the one thing is they remember you for as a writer.  Is it a scene or a detail or a specific line? Is it something like style or characterization?  Is it that one weird kink they never thought they’d be into, but oh my god wow self-discovery time?

via http://ift.tt/2n2S45L:
“Womens’ supposed greater sex drive was an argument for their inferiority, but once the assumption became reversed, no one argued that mens’ lustfulness was a sign of a fundamental irrationality that should preclude them from business and politics. Rather than a handicap, a large sexual appetite was positive once it came to be seen as a characteristic of men. Women, being passionless, supposedly lacked the drive and ambition to succeed. Much like sex, the public realm of work was dirty and distasteful, hardly suitable to womens’ delicate sensibilities.”

When Women Wanted Sex Much More Than Men

Really interesting article about how the perceptions of sex (especially sex drive) have basically reversed gender roles in the past few hundred years.

…and no matter what the outcome is, women still seem to end up at home.
